Behind the Blue: UK's Kathleen Montgomery Talks Brexit

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Financial markets and political conversations were roiled in recent weeks by the decision of voters in the United Kingdom to leave the European Union. The so-called Brexit referendum has left numerous questions for policymakers and pundits alike to stew over.

To help bring clarity and context to the conversation, this edition of “Behind the Blue” explores Brexit with Kathleen Montgomery, an associate professor in UK’s Patterson School for Diplomacy and International Commerce. Montgomery specializes in development and international economics, among other areas, and on “Behind the Blue” she discusses the implications for the referendum on the future of the EU and even the economic impact on the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
